Oh really...then you should have been able to spellcheck the word "knowledgeable." LOL You may be more versed in "program lingo" if you went to and/or you completed the seminars. You are kidding RIGHT?? You could not see those for what they were? Tsk Tsk
Interesting that ewe base a persons knowledge on weather or knot they utilize or rely on spell Czech and then laugh at them. The seminar stuff I am not sure what you are talking about.
Yes, I do have my reasons. After what WWASP did to my son in 60 days is MORE THAN UNCONSCIONABLE!
Sorry to hear that. Miss pam
Again with the assumptions...how do you know that I am not a practicing psychologist?
How do you know I sent my kid to WWASP program?
Those WWASPIES did a good job with YOU and I am sure they would be quiet pleased!
Again, not sure what you mean.
What do you honestly expect to see on an Anti Program website???
I would expect to see a lot of anti-program people but I wouldn’t feel comfortable posting on one since I am not against all programs thats why I read and post here on fornits. I am sort of middle of the road. There is a lot of room for improvement for most programs and I feel there are others which should be just shut down.
You want to compare "potty training" to what is being dome to these kids, you are living in Fantasyland? Get a grip already!
Did you mean "...what is being
done to these kids? The word "dome" doesnt get picked up on spell Czech, but I understood what you meant so I didnt need to stop and point it out to you just to embarrass you like you did to me, but just wanted to make a point.
We were talking about “Behavior Modification” if you recall (not specifically potty training). In order to transition a child out of diapers most kids need
positive reinforcement which is classified as behavior modification. I understand that the kids in programs are potty trained, but they are subjected to behavior modification just the same. If you feel this is abusive then virtually every person has been abused and also has been the abuser. This is why it is important to get the definitions of terms like abuse and torture understood. Behavior modification covers behavior thoughout our whole life time. To answer your question above, this is what tipped me off that you were probably not a psychologist or in a related field.
I feel most of this mis communication between us is due to communication online. If this was face to face I don’t think we would have this disconnect of understanding plus there are no spelling issues.
5 years later, I have living walking proof of what my son endured at CBS - he was only there 60 days and lost 25lbs because they were STARVING him!!! The main goal of these programs are about ONE thing and ONE thing only MONEY!!
I am sorry to hear this. This is one reason it may be helpful to expose the abusive programs and let the better ones rise to the top instead of putting them all in one category. As far as the money goes we all know that we pay as we go, from the time we are born until we die. Nothing is for free and none of us work for free. My child is still doing fine (Thankfully and I do feel fortunate based on reading what programs or staff she might have ended up with)
